On the boys’ courts, Davis Huffman of Island School battled to a 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) win over Waimea’s Bradley Cano in first singles.
“Davis is a tough competitor,” said Adrian Alvarez, the Waimea coach. “Bradley lost to him on their last meeting, but this time, this was one of the best matches I’ve seen this season.”
Huffman picked up Island School’s sole win on the boys’ courts. Waimea’s Marcus Oereira defeating Island School’s Eric Potter, 6-1, 6-1 on the second singles arena.
